We have an exciting opportunity for an emerging lawyer with exceptional writing and communication skills and a passion for fighting corruption and injustice, to join our small and growing team as a Legal Fellow. 

This one-year fellowship offers a unique springboard for an aspiring barrister or solicitor through its combination of practical legal experience (encompassing commercial, public and criminal litigation) and specialist policy exposure in the fields of economic crime and corruption.

Who we are

Spotlight on Corruption is a UK-based charity, founded in September 2019, that shines a light on the UK’s role in corruption at home and abroad. We want to see a society with strong, transparent and accountable institutions which ensure corruption is not tolerated and democracy flourishes both in the UK and globally.

We track how the UK is implementing its anti-corruption laws and monitor the effectiveness of anti-corruption enforcement in the UK. We build the evidence base for reform through our unique court monitoring programme as well as investigative research and extensive engagement with experts and frontline practitioners. The successes of our legal work include intervening in a major Court of Appeal case to safeguard the UK’s anti-money laundering regime, supporting a challenge to reveal the identity of a major political donor in a dirty money case, and winning the right to publish the jury bundle in a high-profile trial about a corrupt arms deal. 

Acting as policy entrepreneurs, we develop innovative and pragmatic solutions and disseminate our work through hard-hitting reports and briefings to inform decision-makers and the general public. We follow through with dogged advocacy, working in a highly collaborative manner to build consensus for reform.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a recent law graduate or early career professional with an outstanding eye for detail, strong analytical and research skills, and demonstrable experience in writing and communicating persuasively.

Working closely with our tight-knit and dynamic team, you will help deliver our unique court monitoring programme by following major cases related to corruption and economic crime that are heard in the UK courts. This work will give you invaluable first-hand exposure to legal proceedings across a range of courts and tribunals in England and Wales – not only high-profile criminal prosecutions and asset recovery proceedings, but also major commercial litigation and other civil claims, as well as judicial review proceedings and regulatory enforcement action.

As the Legal Fellow, you will benefit from the mentorship of a leading barrister as well as other support when drafting court applications or submissions and scoping potential opportunities for strategic litigation that could advance Spotlight’s advocacy objectives. Working closely with the Deputy Director, you will also engage with a range of lawyers who advise Spotlight on strategic litigation opportunities. In the course of this work, you will help build our relationships with the legal sector as well as strengthen our relationships with law enforcement agencies, civil servants, journalists, and civil society partners, particularly in the Global South.

Drawing on your close monitoring of court cases and engagement with law enforcement agencies, legal practitioners and other experts, you will contribute evidence-based research, briefings, blogs and commentary on core areas of our work. This will require forensic attention to detail, strong quantitative and qualitative research skills, and a flair for communicating complex issues in a compelling and accessible way. 

You will be confident working with complex legal materials and following court proceedings while showing enthusiastic, creative and strategic engagement with the broader policy issues arising from our casework. You will feel comfortable drafting briefings to inform parliamentarians and influence decision-makers as well as contributing blogs and rapid-response social media commentary on key developments to advance Spotlight’s key messages.

The successful applicant must be London based in order to attend court hearings and regular team meetings. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Checking court lists, attending court hearings and writing accessible, high-quality monitoring notes

• Assisting with the drafting of applications and representations to the court on open justice issues including access to court documents and reporting restrictions orders

• Developing case studies for our corruption cases database

• Drafting briefings, blogs, social media content and other outputs on legal developments and implications of cases

• Preparing and presenting briefings on the implications of cases and potential litigation opportunities

• Undertaking research and analysis on key cases and the facts behind them

Inclusion Barnet is Barnet's Deaf and Disabled People's Organisation (DDPO), committed to creating more inclusive communities and greater social justice for all. We are looking for a Community Development Outreach Officer to support voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise organisations across Barnet.

This is a community-based outreach role that will play a key part in supporting Barnet's local voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector. The role delivers as part of the award-winning Barnet Together partnership with Young Barnet Foundation and Groundwork London.

A significant majority of this role will be based in the community. The successful candidate will spend most of their time travelling across Barnet, meeting organisations face to face, attending local meetings and events, visiting communities and building relationships with existing and potential members. Applicants must therefore be comfortable with regular travel throughout the borough and confident working independently in a range of community settings.

The postholder will carry out proactive outreach to community groups, voluntary organisations, resident-led groups and local networks. They will build trusted relationships, identify development needs and help organisations access the support, training and opportunities available through Inclusion Barnet Community Organisation Support. The role will involve providing one-to-one support to organisations on areas such as governance, safeguarding, small funding bids and project planning, as well as signposting groups to relevant services, networks and development opportunities. The postholder will also support community-led activities that help strengthen neighbourhoods and improve local places.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has a demonstrable commitment to the social model of disability and disability equality.
• Is passionate about supporting communities and helping organisations to grow and succeed.
• Has experience of working, volunteering or engaging with community groups, voluntary organisations, residents or local projects.
• Has an interest in community development and the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector.
• Has experience of building positive relationships with people from diverse backgrounds.
• Has strong communication, engagement and relationship-building skills.
• Is confident working independently in community settings and representing Inclusion Barnet and Barnet Together at local meetings and events.
• Can identify when organisations or individuals may benefit from additional support and confidently signpost them to relevant services, opportunities or resources.
• Has good organisational, digital and record-keeping skills.
• Has an understanding of safeguarding, or a willingness to develop this knowledge.
• Takes a practical, solutions-focused approach to supporting others.
• Can manage their own workload, prioritise effectively and follow through on agreed actions.

As Barnet's Deaf and Disabled People's Organisation, we encourage applications from people with lived experience of disabiliy, which could include mental health issues, neurodivergence or long term health conditions. Lived experience is highly valued within our organisation and helps shape and strengthen our work. We are committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and in employment.

We also welcome applications from people with transferable skills gained through education, volunteering, community involvement, employment or lived experience.

While some home working is available, regular face-to-face engagement across Barnet is an essential requirement of the role.

Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, and be willing to undergo a DBS check at an appropriate level for the role.
